Muslims

In this series we will reveal the truth about Islam and how you can reach ‘moderate Muslims’. Most Muslims in America are not terrorists. Many Muslims in America are more cultural Muslims than truly wholly devoted followers of Islam. They are what some call moderate Muslims. Many of them have no idea of all the teachings of Islam, Muhammad, Koran, Hadith, and Sharia Law. Especially if they are living in the United States. Help us let them know what their religion promotes. It is a religion that has as its foundation evil, deception, and perversion. It is not a religion of peace as many claim it to be. If you yourself do not come to an understanding of how evil and deceiving Islam is, you will not have a concern for the souls of Muslims. Without Christ they are going to hell, and most of what they are taught will only lead them to destruction. Help us make them aware of the difference between Islam and Christianity.

Radical Islam and Fear-What Could Come from It?

Something to Think About-Something to Consider
I acknowledge this long. BUT it is worth the read. If you want to cheat, go towards the bottom of the page. It is the most critical part!

Fear of radical Islamist Terrorists
I think most people would agree that regardless of religious beliefs, even many Muslims, there is a fear of radical Islamist terrorists. A justifiable fear. If there is any person reading this that does not have a fear of radical Islamist terrorists that creates some fear in me. How can anyone support they have done, are doing, and will do?

Refugees in America-Part One
Introduction

This series is in regards to refugees coming into America. It is going to address the biblical principles of how Christians should respond to refugees coming into America. I promise that this will be a balanced approach to this topic. Extreme liberals (just mentioning Christian and Bible makes them uncomfortable) and extreme conservatives most likely will be challenged. Extreme religious right, many of whom operate out of fear instead of out of the character of Christ, will be challenged. They will not like the facts but hopefully they will embrace the principles found in Scripture. (To read a summary of this entire series, click here.)

Refugees Coming into America-Part Two
What Should Christians Not Do?

I should mention again this series is not in regards to specifically Syrian Refugees. I have an entire series on that topic. Again, all Americans should have some concerns regarding refugees coming from countries that have Islamic terrorists. Based upon statistics since 2002, there is a .0009% chance of a terrorist-related arrest or attack that leads to the loss of life from a Muslim refugee. Of course that can change any time.

Christians and Refugees Coming into America-Part Four
Valid Concerns-Balanced Approach

Many Americans and Christian Americans have valid concerns regarding refugees coming into America. I will address these legitimate concerns and at the same time hopefully bring balance. I will not be addressing the specific Syrian Refugee situation because I have written several articles on that topic. Also for the sake of keeping this article shorter than longer, I am not going to share all the Scriptures and principles I share in the Syrian Refugee Series. I would highly recommend reading the entire series to get a full understanding of what Scripture has to say about foreigners in the land.

Christians Witnessing to Muslims-88,000 Accept Christ
Something to Think About

Here is something to think about. What if every Christian shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ to one Muslim? Just one Muslim in 2016? What do you think would happen? Would there not be revival? This break this down.

There is approximately 4 million Muslims in America. This say this number is low and double it to 8 million Muslims. There is supposedly around 250 million Americans that claim to be Christians. We know that a majority are not Christians because many just claim to be Christian because they live in America. This reduce this number by 50% to 125 million Christians in America. Wait this make it so that only 10% of those who claim to be Christian are truly born again. That would mean there are 25 million Christians in America. So this one mean there three times as many Christians as Muslims. So this breakdown this number down lower. Say only 1/3 of these Christians shared their faith. That is 8 million Christians. So this work with this statistic. Continue reading “Christians Witnessing to Muslims-88,000 Accept Christ” »

Shia Muslims Self Mutilation

Shia Muslims engage in gory mourning rituals such as self-flagellation and self-mutilation in celebration of Ashura, one of the holy days in Shia Islam.For Shias, Ashura commemorates the killing of Imam Hussein, a grandson of Mohammed. Shias consider Hussein to be the one true heir of Muhammad’s legacy. some Shias mark the holiday with bloody self-flagellation rituals. One such ritual is called “tatbeer,” participants cut their heads with swords and spears in mourning for the fallen Imam Hussein. Another Shia self-flagellation ritual involves the use of a zanjeer (a chain with blades). Participants march through the streets chanting and hitting themselves in the chest with whips and chains to ritually punish their bodies. Continue reading “Shia Muslims Self-Mutilation” »

How To Reach Muslims-Part One
Find the Man of Peace
If you have a strong desire to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with Muslims, it must be God putting it on your heart. Instead of being controlled with fear of Islamic terrorists you are burdened for love those who do not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. If God has put the burden on your heart He will give you the grace to share the Gospel.
